So I was just about to make a post complaining about the lack of inspiration and Muse!ness going on right now, despite the thirty-item long list of "To Be Written", when (of course) an idea hit me.

I'm not a proponent of McKay/Sheppard, but read into whatever you want.

While cleaning out my hard drive and going through scattered memory sticks, I came across a flash drive that has a good number of fics saved on it. Only a handful are actually finished, and most of those have already been posted, but there are a few that haven't seen the light of a LJ post. For my lack of anything coherent to say after watching Continuum, I offer this typically "me" piece.


Title: Our Green-Eyed Mistress

Summary: Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.   --Havelock Ellis

Atlantis realized they were leaving after three of the teams had managed to ‘gate out from under the city’s watchful eye with a pretense of visiting trading sites. )

This randomly came back and bit me, like a boomerang I didn't know I had thrown. I now have several more ideas for the "Little Things" group sketched out, and more are coming up every day. So here's a series of drabbles about the differences - or remarkable similarities - between the man and the dog in Elizabeth's life.  :)

Title:
Cleanliness is Godliness
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sparky
Genre: Fluff  (yes, I know. What am I on? (If I knew, I'd share.))
Summary: At least the dog has an excuse.

The Little Things I. II. III. IV.

She's used to dog hair, to the way it gets on all her best suits and makes everything white – or mostly so. )

Title: Grace and Good Aim
Rating: PG
Character: Elizabeth Weir
Summary: Now she gouges out hearts with bullets instead of words.


They understood the necessity of having every person in the city armed for the fight. So many were dead, and more were dying in the chaos of the Infirmary, that they couldn’t afford to leave any hands, calloused and rough or smooth and slender, empty.

This was war,
they told themselves, this is a fight we have to win if we’re to survive. And ignoring the sickening feeling in their guts, they gave her a gun.

She took it from them, and the sight of their leader with a weapon, learning to kill, sent chills down their spines; but what terrified them was that she was good at it.

Since my comment exceeded the limit on comments by 96 characters, I figured I should post it over here. :)    (And Sela, I'm getting around to your prompt. I'm just watching some of that old-school SG-1 for "research purposes". )  The other ficlet-a-thon comments can be found over thataway.


Savior, SGA, Elizabeth & Caldwell, "End this." PG-13

Title: Why We Will Survive Today (And Tomorrow, and Tomorrow)
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: "First Strike", 3x20 - [info]notjustclosets
Pairing: Sparky
Character: Colonel Ellis
Summary: He knows a good thing, a miracle when he sees one.

Author's Note: So. Watched First Strike for the first time yesterday. Procrastinator? Yes. Thank you.

Note II: My first reaction upon learning that I had First Strike as an episode? Dear Deity-of-Choice, the hardcore smut fans are going to flay me alive for this! Still, I stupidly stuck to my guns and wrote my answer for the challenge. With about ten minutes to spare until midnight, to boot. Say what you will, but I don't regret a thing. (Okay, wait, maybe I do. Damn. Oh well.)

Note III: "Sparkily" is the new nickname for this 'shipping. Gotta love typos. ;)




Colonel Ellis was a military man, sculpted head to toe exactly as the regulations dictated. )

Title: Patchwork
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: Underground, 1x08 - [info]notjustclosets
Pairing: Sparky
Summary: Hanging by bare and threadworn seams, they weave a tale together.

Author's Note: This is much shorter, but much better than what I had originally written. When you think about it, we're-going-to-die sex could concievably take place in over half of the SGA episodes. Maybe the writers write in in, and it gets filmed, and we just never see it because everyone actually involved with the show is a secret Sparky 'shipper, and really good thief.

Title: With Your Shield, Or On It
Rating: PG-13 (yeah, we'll talk about that)
Pairing: Sparky
Assignment: "The Ark", 3x16 - [info]notjustclosets
Summary: And this is her power: that she picks the broken pieces out of the wreckage and puts him back together without hesitating.


Author's Note: Yes, I know the real point of the [info]notjustclosets challenge was to write them having hot monkey sex in such a way that it fits in the episode, but I decided that rather than scarring people for life, I'd go with a pre-and-post fic centered around the Sparky warrior/goddess theme. I know, I know, but I don't really have a Smut Muse, sorry to disappoint you - although I did get them somewhere other than a closet. So y'all want NC-17 stuff, fill it in - and if you actually write it, I will be more than happy to add it to the fic.

Note II: I just have to laugh at the fact that everyone else got an extension to my much-begged-for date. ;)

Note III: The imagery here is something that I had to kick around a bit (code for: I yelled "Forget it!" and the Muse yelled back, "Write it!" "But it's abstract-ish!" "And when's that stopped you?"); I'm occasionally under the impression that the Elizabeth that John imagines is sometimes quite different from who she actually is, and that even in canon, she is his goddess. It's something I fiddled with, and comments are definitely welcome! And- er, okay, to the fic before I get sidetracked with ancient mythology and Shakespearian plays.
